Dem Congressional Candidate Revealed to Have History of Stalking Women

David Alcon, a Democrat candidate for Congress in New Mexico, has once again been arrested for allegedly stalking a woman.

Police located Alcon — who is running to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District — at an Albuquerque apartment complex on Friday and took him into custody.

A woman who attended a Halloween party on Oct. 28 in Santa Fe reported Alcon began constantly sending her frightening text messages.

She claimed that texts from Alcon included suggestions that he was watching her, declarations of his love for her and a picture of his genitals.

After the party, she says Alcon texted her later that night saying he was outside her apartment.

Alcon chose not to surrender himself to police when a warrant was issued for his arrest in late October, KRQE reported. It is still unclear what he was doing during the two weeks between when the warrant was issued and his arrest on Friday.

The congressional candidate was being held Wednesday in a detention center on a no-hold bond.

The candidate’s website describes him as liberal political activist who worked to save the New Mexico Lottery Scholarship and lobbied Congress on behalf of Obamacare.

Several descriptions of Alcon on the website say he is “the liberal you can trust.”

This is not the first time Alcon has been arrested for stalking a woman, as he was convicted of a similar crime in 2007.

Responding to a request for comment by The Western Journal, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Jack Pandol provided a statement attacking both Alcon and Democrat leadership in the House.

“After national Democrats’ failure to adequately address the fallout from Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment allegations, Ben Ray Lujan can’t remain silent about this gross misconduct in his own backyard,” said Pandol, referring to Lujan, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

“Given Lujan and the DCCC’s repeated insistence they will play in contested primaries, Lujan and the Democratic establishment must pledge to withhold support for Alcon immediately.”
